Fr0ntierX’s Polaris K8s Secure Container

Fr0ntierX's Polaris K8s Secure Container utilizes Confidential Virtual Machines (CVM) to isolate Kubernetes workloads within a fully encrypted environment. Built on Confidential Computing principles, Polaris K8s ensures full memory encryption with minimal overhead, shielding data from both cloud providers and internal IT resources. This integration protects sensitive data at every stage – at rest, in transit, and while in use – without requiring any modifications to existing Kubernetes applications.

Polaris K8s secures all data traffic, including HTTP requests and responses, by encrypting them using a public key managed within the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This ensures protection against exposure risks, while the encryption and decryption process remains transparent, requiring no changes to workloads. Data is decrypted seamlessly by the Polaris SDK, ensuring continuous encryption without interrupting operational flow, whether in server or browser environments.

Polaris K8s also encrypts and decrypts sensitive data, such as configuration files and context documents. Access to encrypted data is governed by an attestation policy that verifies workload integrity and can restrict access to pre-approved software versions. Both encryption and decryption are handled by the Polaris SDK, providing seamless, robust data protection across all Kubernetes workloads.

Key Benefits:

• Data Encryption: Security at all stages – at rest, in transit, and in use
• Complete Isolation: Workloads shielded from cloud providers and internal IT resources
• Transparent Encryption: All requests and responses are automatically encrypted and decrypted
• No Modifications Required: No changes to the Kubernetes workload necessary
• Compliance: Supports data anonymization, filtering, and cleaning for compliance with regulatory standards
• Preserves Kubernetes Flexibility: Security does not compromise Kubernetes’ scalability or performance
